Joel Klatt: We are not a “brand.”

Well we are in Provo! 😉

Kind of insulting to be grouped with Indiana. We are way more of a brand in

We are, but I get his angle. Like he suggests, it shouldn't matter.

Here's how our program stacks up against Indiana

We either are or we’re not.

It's true. The BYU brand isn't Texas, tOSU, Bama, Georgia, ND, or USC. But, if

ThugU is not a good brand

Genghis Spreads

Yeah, but good or bad, still a brand

Yep. "Brand" is worth something when rankings are being done subjectively.

dut99002

11/6/24 11:33am

I don't think we can afford a loss given the initial ranking

I almost said totally agree, but then I saw your sig pic

He’s right but what he’s missing is that they care about conference, not school.

Good points. The Committee & networks are rooting for the Colorado Deions in B12

that was a very good listen if you have 23 minutes

"Indiana and BYU were wanked"... lol

He later says "blue blood" which I think is more fair

BYU under LaVell completely reshaped CFB, but BYU is not a "Brand"?

To me personally, "brand" means that your hoodie is in many Walmarts or

But the difference with BYU is there are people who aren’t college sports fans

In that scenario, where would they have gotten their items? That's kind of

there is lots of BYU branded stuff each year at Walmarts and Sams clubs in Mesa

In Mesa, that doesn't surprise me. If I saw it in New York City, or Miami, then

not a blue blood. certainly a brand. but not big ten or sec. that’s really all that means.

We're currently #42 in viewership among college football teams and #10 among Big 12 teams.

Not a fair comparison. ESPN puts BYU at 8:15 knowing the viewers won't be there,

spidercoug

11/6/24 3:24pm

So the argument is that ESPN purposely gives us worse times because we're such a strong brand?

krindorr

11/6/24 3:48pm

Just wondering... Which of those 76+ teams had 3m viewers in the 8:15 time slot?

Les IsMore

11/6/24 5:43pm

Last year we had 6 mid-day/prime viewing windows on ESPN, ABC or FOX

krindorr

How many strong brands has a rival who is not also a strong brand?

Ripliancum

11/6/24 6:53pm

And I'd argue that late games are (if anything) a sign of not being a huge brand

krindorr

11/6/24 6:02pm

That is kinda the point. We play at 8:15 because we are not a brand...

TheLoneCougar

11/6/24 4:30pm

We're a brand. Just not a strong brand.

Genghis Spreads

11/7/24 7:46am

That's fair. Definitely depends on what the definition of brand is

krindorr

11/7/24 8:20am

A substantial number of people recognize the BYU name from football, even when

Genghis Spreads

11/7/24 9:22am

BYU fans overplay that we are a national brand. The viewership data doesn't support this.

TheLoneCougar

11/6/24 4:31pm

Spot on.

WizeGuise

We're not a brand because we think we deserve it. We've created a brand when
